Hi Julie --
I bought the Color PB mainly to read comic books in outdoor sunlight where tablets can get washed out while e-ink remains readable or even improves in readability in strong sunlight. That said, I think I would classify the PB Color as a work in progress and very unsophisticated in results. I do personally enjoy it as my review details. On the other hand, I would never recommend this product to a person who is looking simply for a way to read books with color pictures. Especially if, as most people, a good majority of the reading will be done indoors. And I think you also were concerned about eyestrain? From your message I would think you would be far better off with one of the Kindle Fire HD8 tablets. Or, if you could afford it, any Apple iPad. I think, for now, the PB Color is great fun for a person who owns other devices and enjoys working with new technology -- the geek factor. But for your needs: No, I do not think the PB Color would make you or your brother happy.
